Ersatzteile

Schritt 1

Completely power off your phone before you begin.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back cover's right edge for two minutes.
A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

Schritt 2

Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close to the middle of the right edge as possible.
Pull up on the suction cup with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the back cover and the frame.
Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you're having trouble, apply more heat to the edge and try again.
Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Schritt 3

Slide the pick along the right edge to slice the adhesive.
Leave the pick in the bottom right edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Schritt 4

Apply a heated iOpener to the back cover's bottom edge for two minutes.

Schritt 5

Rotate the pick around the bottom right corner to slice the adhesive.

Schritt 6

Slide the pick along the bottom edge to slice the adhesive.
Leave the pick in the bottom left edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Schritt 7

Apply a heated iOpener to the back cover's left edge for two minutes.

Schritt 8

Rotate the pick around the bottom left corner to slice the adhesive.

Schritt 9

Slide the pick along the edge to slice the adhesive.
Leave the pick in the top left edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Schritt 10

Apply a heated iOpener to the back cover's top edge for two minutes.

Schritt 11

Rotate the pick around the top left corner to slice the adhesive.

Schritt 12

Slide the pick along the top edge to slice the adhesive.

Schritt 13

Lift the back cover from the phone and remove it.
If the back cover is still stuck to the midframe, slide an opening pick around the edges of the phone until the cover separates completely.

Schritt 14

Insert an opening pick between the right edge of the camera bezel and the motherboard cover.
Slide the pick back and forth along the edge to slice the adhesive.

Schritt 15

Insert an opening pick between the left edge of the camera bezel and the motherboard cover.
Slide the pick back and forth along the edge to slice the adhesive.

Follow this guide to replace the back cover and camera bezel adhesive.

Schritt 17

Insert the pointed end of a spudger underneath the tape that connects the wireless charging coil to the speaker on the bottom left of the phone.
Slowly lift the spudger up until the tape detaches from the speaker.

Schritt 18

Insert a spudger underneath the tape that connects the wireless charging coil to the daughterboard cover on the bottom right of the phone.
Slowly lift the spudger up until the tape detaches.

Schritt 19

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 10 4 mm screws securing the motherboard cover.

Schritt 20

There's adhesive under the motherboard cover that secures the cover to the motherboard.
Apply a heated iOpener between the bottom of the motherboard cover and the top of the battery for two minutes.

Schritt 21

Insert an opening tool between the motherboard cover and the midframe.
Pry up with the opening tool until you are able to grab the motherboard cover with your fingers.
During reassembly, press down around the perimeter of the motherboard cover to engage the clips.

Schritt 22

Slowly pull the motherboard cover up and away from the phone and remove it.

Schritt 23

Use your fingers to move the graphite film that covers the battery out of the way.

Schritt 24

Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery's press connector.
To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

Schritt 25

Apply a few drops of high-concentration (90% or higher) isopropyl alcohol to the gaps along the battery's edges.
Tilt the device as you apply alcohol to help it flow under the battery.
Wait one minute to allow the isopropyl alcohol to penetrate the adhesive.
Only apply a few drops initially and apply more as necessary. If you apply too much alcohol, it may overflow onto the motherboard and daughterboard.

Schritt 26

Take care not to puncture or bend the battery during the removal process—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.
Apply a suction cup to the battery.
Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the battery and the frame.
If the battery doesn't budge, apply a few more drops of isopropyl alcohol and try again.
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
Continue to pull up on the suction cup while sliding the opening pick back and forth to slice the adhesive. Continue this process until the battery separates from the frame.

Schritt 27

Remove the battery from the midframe.
Do not reuse the battery if it has been deformed or damaged, as doing so is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery.
Follow this guide to install new battery adhesive.

Schritt 28

Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the foam strip from the battery's bottom edge.
Before installing your new battery, apply the foam strip to it.

Abschluss

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the instructions in reverse order.

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery after completing this guide.
